K2 vfo knob

Anthony Clare
Hello:

I am well into the assembly of K2 #7734 and ran into a snag. The vfo knob will
not come close enough to the felt washer to create any friction. I cannot see
where I would have done anything wrong during assembly.

Otherwise, the new encoder feels really good. I just need to stop the
freewheeling of the knob when I let go of it. I have some ideas in my head,
but I wanted to see what you guys have done first.

Any ideas?

Anthony

Anthony,

I suspect you have the 'new' knob.  The one I am referring to is the
same one used on the KX3 and has a rubber ring.

The knob previously used on the K2 has become unavailable.

If so, contact support and request 2 additional felt washers and stack them.
I have not yet had a chance to check out a K2 with the new encoder and
that new knob.

73,
